Recurrent colds, weak immunity & acupuncture

Optimal immunity is one of my zones of expertise. Everyone has a unique constitution. Some people are simply more hardy and robust than others; they have to “do” less to maintain optimal health.

For those with a weaker constitution, there is a smaller margin of “error” when it comes to behaviors and lifestyle. 

Regardless of your constitution, the number one factor for improving immunity is managing stress. Stress comes in many forms: there is emotional and psychological stress, physical stress, and environmental stress.

Lucky for you, acupuncture is one of the easiest therapies for optimizing the immune system by mitigating the deleterious effects of stress. In my clinic, regular acupuncture treatment has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of acute illness and optimize immunity.

The sauna is another therapeutic tool that was shown in this study to improve immune system function; the catch is, a series of sessions is necessary. Saunas work to improve immunity by increasing leukocyte and monocytel levels to stimulate the immune system. They also produce heat shock proteins to activate immunity.

Whether you are recovering from a recent illness, or want to avert getting sick, I have the tools to support you at the Sunset Healing Collective.
